The TV anime will cover the Circus Arc of the manga and there's an OVA in the works that will cover the Murder Mystery arc.

I liked both of these arcs quite a bit in comparison to the rest of the series, so hearing that they're the ones getting animated is good news to me. I'll probably end up watching them should Funi decide to pick them up.

this is such good news! I can't wait! I don't understand all this licensing stuff, I just want more Black Butler. more Sebastian, more Ciel! I hope the can get J Michael Tatum back and what's-her-name for Ciel

Oh I didn't mean it in a bad way, it's just all the horror movies I've watched over the years have made me weary of children that would make me play a board game about death. XD

Oh definitely. And Ciel is dangerous, or rather, he has dangerous people at his command and isn't afraid to use them, so being wary of him wouldn't be unreasonable. I just don't think "creepy" is the first thing to come to mind.

The first series is pretty okay, I liked it more than the manga at some points, but I'd caution against season 2. The Circus arc takes place rather early in the manga so you could jump in and watch that after the story with Soma and Agni is finished. It should be good, that's one of the better arcs in the manga.
